Hightide Flake Stickers Laid-Back Animals
The Hightide Flake Stickers "Laid-Back Animals" are small, die-cut stickers made from semi-transparent washi paper in a new retro style. The masking material is thin and supple – when applied, it lies flat without buckling the page or warping book pages. 30 stickers in 10 different animal designs come in a compact package that folds into a storage box after opening.
Features
- Semi-transparent washi paper: The material adheres like a second skin to the surface – notebook lines, calendar grids or paper texture show subtly through. Not a solid white sticker that stands out from the context.
- Die-cut: Each sticker is precisely cut along the motif outline – no square edges, no carrier film left visible. The result looks placed, not stuck on.
- 10 designs × 3 copies each = 30 stickers: Enough repeats to use a motif multiple times, and enough variety for different projects from a single pack.
- Packaging as storage box: The cardboard sleeve folds into a mini case – practical for your desk drawer or notebook bag, no need for a separate pouch.
- Retro animal illustrations: The Laid-Back Animals designs feature relaxed, gently stylised animals in new retro style – warm tones, calm lines, a rhythm that suits handwritten pages.
- Made in Japan: Typical Hightide care in materials and die-cutting precision.
Use & Tips
- Bullet journaling & planner decoration: The thin washi layer sits on pages without adhering too strongly – ideal for weekly spreads, monthly pages or habit trackers, where a design accents the rhythm of a page rather than overwhelming it.
- Calligraphy pages & lettering: Washi stickers can be placed as framing elements next to handwritten text. The paper doesn't absorb ink – avoid overlapping with fresh ink lines.
- Correspondence & packaging: Applied to envelopes, gift wrap or parcel tape, the designs give a letter a personal sender character.
- Scrapbooking & collages: The semi-transparent material allows layering – a design placed over a photo doesn't cover it, but frames it.
- Tip for fine papers: On very smooth, coated paper, washi material adheres slightly less strongly than on uncoated surfaces. Apply gentle pressure when sticking – that's enough for lasting adhesion.
For Planner & Journaling Enthusiasts
Washi flake stickers differ from classic vinyl or PP stickers in their paper behaviour: the material is compressible, folds easily over page edges and feels matt-dry in the hand rather than shiny-cool. Washi accepts pencil and ballpoint lines if written over – so you can add text directly on the sticker. If using fountain pen ink, allow the sticker to dry completely before a nib crosses it; the porous surface can easily distort damp ink.
